　　In the sentimental film Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) based on a futuristic tale, the central character is an 11 year-old highly advanced robotic boy named David. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically, but David still holds his never-ending love for his "mother." Two thousand years later, David requests to recreate Monica out of her DNA, although she could live for one day only. 

　　The central plot of this story is the experience of David who is to be abandoned and betrayed by his parents who adopted him. Spielberg asks us to identify with a young boy, who exiled from the only home he knows and forced to find his way in a strange and unsympathetic world. Spielberg’s fantasy about human replica probes into the inconsistent nature of human beings. 

　　This movie tells you how to feel, especially when we see David, who has a similar yearning like Pinocchio’s, set out to find the blue fairy who will transform him into a real boy. 

　　Movies are not real, but few moviemakers have been as adept at finding original ways to counterfeit human emotion as Spielberg. But here Spielberg confronts a crucial and difficult question: Do the virtual selves we project into the world, on screen and elsewhere, bring us closer to knowing who we are, or do they distract us from our search for that knowledge, what we are and what we will become?
